This digital jukebox, formerly known as Musicmatch Jukebox before
Yahoo bought it, lets you play, rip, and burn music files, and
listen to Internet radio stations. It even lets you shares music
between PCs at home, or listen to music on your home stereo system,
if you have a compatible network media player.
It has all the bells and whistles you'd expect of a jukebox,
including excellent ripping features, the ability to burn to DCs,
and to transfer music to portable devices. You can also buy music
from a variety of music labels. There's also integration with Yahoo
Messenger, so that you can share music with other users of Yahoo
Messenger.
Not everyone has been pleased with the change from Musicmatch
Jukebox to Yahoo! Jukebox; some have complained that it's become
big and cluttered. And be careful, when installing that you don't
install any Yahoo extras you don't want, such as the Yahoo Toolbar,
or Yahoo Instant Messenger, and that you uncheck the boxes if you
don't want Yahoo to be your default search engine or homepage.

Strengths: I loved this when I 1st got it and had no problems til about 2 months ago!
Weaknesses: Everytime I turn it on now I keep getting this message that there is some **** Network problem that may be temporarly preventing me from downloading or streaming full length tracks.Try signing into my account later or if it persists for more then a day contact customer support!Then that message just keeps popping up off and on while I'm trying to play songs! Very annoying!!! What a joke because I have found no place that will give me any answers at all!!! I have contacted yahoo many times and if I get any kind of answer it is to switch to the service,(ITunes or whatever) **** All I want to do is play the CD's I have ripped to my computer with it not have to sign up or play to listen to my CD's!
Overall Evaluation: I am completely getting rid of it seems I can't get no answers or the problem fixed and will just find another free jukebox or just use my media player!

Strengths: I haven't found any yet.
Weaknesses: Just about everything. I haven't found a way to convert my MP3's to a lower bit rate to save space. It is unbelievably substandard compared with MusicMatch Jukebox. Do not use this product unless you ONLY want a music player.
Overall Evaluation: Very poor. Would never have downgraded, I mean 'upgraded' to this product from MM had I known about the features that were lost.
